Summery: In the chapter The Family of Little Feet it talks about a family that everyone is short and has small feet. The chapter goes into more detail about everyones feet in the family. It also talks about how Esperanza, Lucy, and Rachelle found these pretty high heal shoes. They were walking around the town and they were getting a lot of attention from guys. As they were walking around the town a bum told Rachel that she was pretty and he said if she gives him a kiss he will give her a dollar. After the bum offered Rachel the dollar for the kiss Lucy went over to Rachelle and told her they had to go because if she didn't Rachel would have taken the dollar and kissed him. When they get home Lucy says she is tired of being beautiful so she puts the shoes in a box and hides them under the porch. One day her mom is cleaning the house and she threw away the shoes.
